Yeah, I know that. I hadn't logged out. I just clicked on the "Linux Format forums Forum Index" link at the bottom of the forum I was reading. Then everything was marked as read, that's not the normal way things work.

This whats happening to me, been like this from day one of the new site, have remarked on it else where. Basically it's asif there is time limit, you hang around to long - i.e. actually go of to do some work, come back, refresh the forum/page low and behold all posts marked as read. Even the new one posts posted while away....
